Chapter 6

This Is Not A Date.. Is It?

I was just listening to my old CD's, Kelly Clarkson's song "Since You've Been Gone" is so awesome. I love every single lyric. I actually fell asleep listening to her songs that night.

My eyes were hurting; it was the sun light appearing through my window. It was 9 in the morning and I was still in bed. Surprisingly my mom didn't wake me up today. I decided it was time to take a shower and as I wasn't hungry at all I could text Miley and visit her just for an hour, besides, her house is like two blocks from mine. And so, I did. I texted her but she didn't answered. I figured that she was still sleeping but I honestly didn't mind about it, I can go there and wake her. I got to Miley's house and knocked. TOCK-TOCK

Her mom opened the door. "Hello Demi, it's a surprise to see you here" she said really tired.

"Good morning Tish" I said with a little smile. She always tells me to call her Tish because she says Mrs. Cyrus sounds too old for her.

"Miley is in her room, I think she's still sleeping. Do me a favor and wake her up" she laughed. "Yeah, excuse me". I went upstairs and got into Miley's room. There she was, sleeping. I think she was dreaming and she was saying something I couldn't decode. Wait, aha; it was what I imagined, she was saying "Nick, Nick, don't go..Nick, Nick" So I decided to break her amazing dream.

"MILEY!!" I said out loud and she jumped out of her bed and ended in the floor. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" she said really scared and freaking out. I just laughed. She was so into her dream that didn't even notice I got into her room, this was so epic. "Your mom let me in and I thought 'what a best way to spend a morning than with your best friend?!'"

"well, you should've text me then" Really Miley? NEWS FLASH, I certainly did.

"Well, never mind. I'm already awake. So what should we do then?" she asked with no excitement.

"Nothing, I gotta go but tonight we're having our sleepover and you're telling me everything about Nick" I said smiling.

"Oh, yeah.. about that.. I don't think I'm gonna be able to go.." she put her head down, feeling guilty.

"What? Why?!" I asked confused.

"Well, Nick.. he actually.. well the thing is that.." she was totally stammering and I got the message.

"Yeah, of curse, a date with a boy is more important than me. I see where you're getting this. Thanks a lot and you know what? Keep the thing with Nick, I don't want to know about it anymore"

I was so pissed off that I left and not even said goodbye to Miley's mom. I mean we already planned that and if she had plans she could have told me so I figure out she planned it after we planned our sleepover. Unbelievable, my best friend just traded me for a boy, this day can't be better.

I walked to my house with a makeable sadness in my face. I got into my house and went to my room. I checked my e-mail and I had one on inbox. Guess from who was it? Yeah, Joe. This wasn't good if I was trying to forget him.

The e-mail said:

"Hey Demi, well Nick told me you guys don't have school today so I was wondering if you'd like to have a day out with me. Text me if you are available, I can't wait to see you again.

Love Joe. P.S., my cell phone is 555-0265"

I was kinda shocked. That was the last thing I would've expected for the day. I guess I have to thank Miley because she's busy and not coming over tonight. I analyzed the situation for 10 minutes and decided to text Joe. I texted and told him that I wanted to spend the day with him. I noticed that after one minute I sent the text, I had already his reply. Or he was fast at texting or he was extremely excited to see me. I didn't want to expect anything from him because let's face it, he was Joe Jonas and I was just another girl who has a crush on him. Why would he look at me in a different way? After a couple of hours I have finally found the perfect outfit for the perfect date with the perfect guy. HOLD ON. I have to remember this isn't a date; we're just friends hanging out for a day. End of story. Oh well, whatever.

I just got a text from Joe, it says "Demi, I'll pick you up in 15 minutes, be ready xo"

I was kinda sweating which it wasn't good so I tried to stay cool and calmed, everything was going to be alright till I heard the beep.

BEEEP

It was Joe outside my house. I grabbed my purse and went out there. He was, well I can't describe him because I can't find the words to describe such a perfect human being.

"Hello Demi!" he said with that smile he has, that I almost melted there.

"Hey Joe" I said with a half-smile in my face.

We both jumped into the car and went far away from there. While he was driving he said "So, I was thinking we could go and have a picnic at a park and then maybe you can give me some fun ideas.. so what do you think?" he smiled.

"Well, the picnic sounds great but I really have no idea about something we can do, so you can decide, it is fine for me" I said with almost no excitement.

I didn't know why I was a little down, I mean I was going to have a romantic picnic with my crush all alone and I wasn't happy. We got to the park and Joe opened the car door for me, he is such a gentleman. Then he opened another door and he actually prepared a basket with food for the picnic, and I mean it was like he knew that I love guys who cook, it was kinda of a perfect date for me, even though it wasn't a date of curse. He made everything like in movies; he put a squared tablecloth on the grass just like in original picnics. He put the basket on it and told me to sit down. I actually did and we started a convo about everything around while he was preparing peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

"And so.. I have an idea, why don't we play to 10 questions?" He said and lifted his eyebrows.

"Well, okay, sounds interesting." I replied with some fear about what was he going to ask me.

"Okay, so you have to answer everything I ask you with the truth, do you agree?" he smiled.

"Umm, okay I agree. But then it's my turn to ask you things!" I laughed and he giggled.

"Okay.. so, first question: what did you think of me the very first time you saw me?" he stared at me with curiosity.

" Umm, really wanna know? Haha just kidding. I thought 'wow, he's a very nice and good looking guy'" I laughed and he giggled and blushed.

"Haha, okay. Second question: do you find me attractive?" he lifted his eyebrows. He def got me with this one.

"Well, honestly.. yeah, I think you're cute" I said a little shy.

He smiled, did this 'FOR THE WIN' move with his arm and said, "Third Question: do you think I think you're pretty?"

"well, I don't know. I can't read minds but I do believe.. you can tell me now." I smiled.

"we'll see haha. Fourth Question: do you have a boyfriend?" - he asked with some type of smile he has that it seems like he's evil but naughty but I don't know which words to use.

"not really, do you?" I asked trying to sound careless for the question.

"nope" he smiled. "Let's just say, 5 questions okay?. Fifth Question: do you think this is a date?"

I was stocked. That certainly got me. I didn't know what to answer but I kept it cool.

"I don't know, you tell me." I said with a half-smile on my face.

He just gave me a flirty smile and we kept talking. After half an hour I remembered something. "Hey Joe, I'm missing my 5 questions for you" I said with a winning voice. "True" he said. "Ask me but remember to ask me the things I told ya before, don't forget anything" he smiled and I smiled back.

I asked him random things and finally for the last question, I was about to ask him when he said "hold on" I didn't get why but he started to write on a sheet of paper and then he gave me the piece of sheet. "Ask me that" he said with a weird voice. I was a bit confused and I read the sheet. I couldn't believe that he wanted me to ask him that. I think I already have the answers for my questions lately.
